Over the weekend Coakley was VERY excited about me opening the kiln. Don't worry, it wasn't hot, it was about the same temperature as the porch. My grandma painted porcelain as one of her many hobbies. I've been slowly working some details on some of her unfinished projects. Towards the end of her life she struggled with the dry form of macular degeneration, so details were rough. Not-so-fun fact: genetics can play a role in this condition, which means there's a high probability of having the same issue later in like. Slide 1: Coakley investigates Slide 2: my grandma painting Slide 3: "emily the cat", she painted their cat. #kiln #helperkitty #thegrandmaarchives #adventuresingrandparentland #porcelainpainting #hobbies https://www.instagram.com/p/CDvJKPLgiMF/?igshid=261ymsqa9mzc
It doesn't matter how many times I purge the kitchen drawers, I always find something weird. Butter spreader anyone? #stayingbusyduringsocialdistancing #whydoiownthis #adventuresingrandparentland #butterspreader #why #thegrandmaarchives https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKPhA5gMDh/?igshid=1nkg7kpmdgdqw

That hole doesn't belong there. Don't worry, I fixed it, it only took 2 trips to the hardware store. #adventuresingrandparentland #broken #fixingstuff #ugh https://www.instagram.com/p/B77kdNyAjxA/?igshid=o3y90lwmyero
Two years later. I'm still in NJ, but things have changed in ways I would have never imagined. Both Jason and Jordan have brought up some good points. Can I walk away? How far will my recent projects take me? What's next? I think it's time for something new. That picture is a crazy snapchat filter of my grandma while waiting for dinner at the now defuct PB Diner in Glassboro. She liked the ones that either turned people into cats, or included them. #life #whatsnext #wheredoigofromhere #canyoustoptime #adventuresingrandparentland #pbdiner #snapchatfilters https://www.instagram.com/p/B40t8paA-PW/?igshid=11fbz0jq28d2d
Waterproof hiking boots and Valentine's Day socks are the perfect combination for cleaning the basement, right? Oh, and I love my Merrell boots. #adventuresingrandparentland #cleaning #somuchjunk #boots #socks #chevronsocks #hearts #somuchstuff #merrellshoes https://www.instagram.com/p/B06aI3WAhdk/?igshid=1ghx6zutjswyu
